Life is Greater Than Self

2givelife Network Update

Today I wanted to give an update with the nonprofit. We continue to edge our way closer to be officially a nonprofit, however its a slow process. I finally had to tell myself to stop and take a breath and not try to rush the process because it was not going to be something that could happen quickly. My personality is to be full steam ahead with any task at hand, but this task can knock the steam out of you, LOL! We have submitted our incorporation with the state of Alabama, now we wait to hear back on our status. In the mean time I’m finalizing the by-laws and trying to understand what all I have to send to the IRS. I do have some smart people assisting me or I would be lost. Uh, lets just tell the truth……. I am really lost on the IRS part and if I did not have an intelligent friend I would be at a stand still. So pray for me to have the patience to allow the system to work.

Starting next week

On next Friday March 30th we will have our first guest post. A guest post is where we invite someone else to write a post on or blog. I think you will enjoy reading what the guest write. Our guest will range from, patients, donors, physician and medical staff, family members, friends, other non profits, etc. Fridays will be called “Friday Friends”. So with that said if you would like to be a guest on our blog please contact us at 2givelife@gmail.com.

Website coming soon

I continue to work on the website, however I’m not quiet ready to make it public yet. Its drives me crazy to be given an address to a website and when I get there it’s not set up yet . Most of the time there is a message that says Under Construction try back soon. I’m trying to save you the pain of seeing it incomplete. Through the website we hope to create a network with information to answer all your questions about kidney disease, organ donation, and ways to prevent kidney disease. We want to share stories of individuals and families whose lives has been affected by kidney disease or organ donation. It’s through the lives of those who have lived through these events that will help change the status quo of kidney disease. Jennifer and I were silent for over 20 years about her life with kidney disease, how many opportunities over the years have been missed because we simply remained silent.

Your prayers our coveted

Jennifer and I still request your prayers for God to open doors and send people into our lives and in our pathways to minister to. We want opportunities to be a blessing to others and to encourage those who are experiencing life with kidney disease and encourage/support those who have the ability to be a donor.
